@Alkjad Lelaj Hello, I'm not sure that I follow your questions, but here is a bit of advice to help you as it pertains to NJ Sherrifs auctions1) Partner with a seasoned investor and/or attorney that have experience with sheriffs auctions, the sales are nuanced and there is a lot of due diligence that you need to do before placing your bid, the title searches are a great place to start but you shouldn't stop there you need to run OPRA reports, check city violations view the property (if possible) etc2) Understand the redemption period and how it works, the auction isnt always over after you place a winning bid make sure you understand the redemption period before you spend additional funds, buy materials etc3) Each county auction is a bit different as are the profile of the buyers/ level of competition make sure that you're prepared as some auctions the bids are very aggressive (almost nonsensical) and others they are a bit more laid back comparatively.4) Not every property at an auction is a deal so don't bid blindly, auctions can be a great place to purchase a property but there are properties there that are also over valued and may not make sense based on your expected rate of return/investment strategy 

I blindly bought two properties and to make the story short, both of them finally went into foreclosure last year.  

This can then lead to the blind or misinformed leading the blind and misinformed.  

I am leaving my current job to make real estate my full time career, I have experience in apartment leasing, tenant selection and screening as well as construction including door and window rehab / installation and blind installation.

You can learn and talk RE your entire life, but none of it counts until you take action.On the flip side….Do not get blinded and take any crap deal that comes your way just to get in.

If a person from Chicago where to take some of the advise posted here blindly and get sued losing everything, it makes no difference to me, as this would be more inventory for me to chose from.

Scope includes installing six GFCIs, snaking three drains, replacing a shower valve cartridge, very minor drywall patching, small waterproofing patchwork in the basement/front porch, realigning a few doors, replacing a kitchen sink drain assembly, installing blinds, and a handful of other minor items.

That is not blind trust, but based on a 50+ year relationship.I would have found it hard to partner with my dad.

As the saying goes: "None are so blind as will not see."

The rest, don't have a clue really and that's okay, it's expected of younger folks, but what we have here is the blind leading the blind!
